BORDERLESS PAVILION

SPATIAL INSTALLATION / CONSTRUCTION
2026

San Diego, California.

This pavilion explores the San Diego–Tijuana region as a layered condition rather than a fixed boundary. Instead of a singular line, the border is understood as a shifting field of overlapping realities shaped by people, flora, and fauna moving across and between both cities. At times it dissolves, at others it becomes ambiguous—never fully clear, always dependent on where and how it is experienced.

The installation is composed of lightweight, translucent coroplast walls. These layered
surfaces filter light, cast shifting shadows, and partially obscure views, creating a spatial
condition where perception is constantly in flux. Visitors move through a subtle path within the pavilion, encountering moments of clarity and distortion depending on their position and
orientation.

By blurring interior and exterior, natural and artificial, the pavilion invites visitors to question
fixed notions of separation. It frames the border not as a line, but as an evolving, lived
environment—one defined by interaction, coexistence, and multiple perspectives.
